Miss Black USA 2008 Crowned

Whoa, what a wonderful time we all had in Vegas! Last week marked the beginning of the 2008 Miss Black USA Scholarship Pageant, and the decisions for judges are getting more difficult each year. Everyone worked really hard to make things come together for the preliminary competitions and the final night of competition in which the new Miss Black USA was crowned. The production was absolutely amazing!

Even more amazing than the production is the young lady chosen to represent black women in the USA over the next year of her life: Miss Black Georgia USA, Kristen Elizabeth White! :) Congratulations, girl! I am so excited about the opportunities you'll have in the coming year. The organization couldn't have asked for a better queen this year. I know you'll uphold the legacy and make us all proud!

After attending the reception in honor of Kristen, I went to my room to take my crown and sash off for the last time and got a little misty-eyed. In a final farewell, I'm signing off for the last time in my Miss Black USA blog. This year has been phenomenal, and I am honored to have been able to serve as Miss Black USA 2007. Goodbye for now. :)

God Bless,
Kalilah Allen-Harris
